TE DC Event--Tubing in Harper's Ferry, WV

[Velobambina]

It's the unexpected expenses that get you.
Luckily, the one (Fiona, 11 month old terror) has recovered from her tummy/intestinal ailment. Maud (11 year old) is in diapers for now. She's has a terrible UTI but the medicine is working. Her pee was almost all blood and she could not control her bladder, poor soul. Hopefully, she won't need the diapers in a couple days. Vet warned us that it takes an older dog longer to get over these things. Ultrasound, shot, two types of meds, blood tests. You can only imagine. She's been such a good sport about wearing her diapers. We should get the results of her bloodwork next week. Hopefully, it's just a UTI and there's nothing else a miss.
We'll definitely do our best to join you. And R---yes, I hope to get to ride w/you in Rosaryville or even Rock Creek Park!!

So we've got 9 confirmed, and need 10 for the discount. I'll call today and see what happens if we have 10 later.

Yesterday I did the flatwater trip (with River and Trail Outfitters) on the Shenandoah with some friends and had a ball. I'm not sure a cooler is worth hassling with.

So...we're doing the Potomac whitewater trip on August 10 at 1:15 with River Riders. I'll call today.

[Kalidurga]

Thank you again, Janice, for taking things in hand and doing all the arrangements

[Zen]

Oh, one way or another we'll have ten for sure.

[divingbiker]

OK, I called River Riders and if we book online we save another $2 per person (since we're going on a Sunday; no discount on Saturdays). But because when you book online you have to pay for it up front, I don't want to pay for 10 people until I know for sure that one more person is going (otherwise the money situation will get too complicated if we stay at 9 people but pay for 10.)

So I'm going to hold off, and maybe F8th or Zen's friend will commit, and then we can firm it up. If we get too close to August 10th and still have 9 people, we'll just lose the discount. River Riders said we need to book in advance, but we have time.

[Zen]

Well, my friend can't go.
But I did talk her into the Goose Chase!

Just for my own planning purposes, I'd like to clarify the time. From what I remember of glancing at the website, it seemed that 1:15 would be our launch time onto to the river. How early before that do we actually need to meet at River Riders?

Thanks for asking. I was wondering that too.

They want us there an hour ahead of time.

[Kalidurga]

That's what I assumed, thanks for confirming. I'm trying to decide whether to squeeze in a ride on towpath or at Antietam beforehand

[7rider]

They want us there an hour ahead of time.

At the launch site or at RR?

At River Riders.
